That is fear. It's fear of competition. It's protectionist. It's the same argument I hear about running an online business, that I'm taking away business from brick and mortar office furniture stores. I'd never advocate allowing a food truck to park outside Daddy O's front door. But not allowing them in the whole business park near the government center?The ability for a local worker to have a choice isn't wrong,it's the American way. I believe the Founding Fathers might be on my side on this one. No,it's not fear,it's economics and preserving a local economy that I know this community needs and values far more than a carolina pulled pork sandwich wrapped in tin-foil. It's not competition if you change the rules while the other team is on the goal line. If you're driving your decision based solely on convenience to the consumer,you're welcome to use your logic. However,if that's what you choose to go with I don't want to see another post authored by you complaining about not having a brick-and- mortar restaurant on your end of town. Again,if you read my earlier statement,I'm fine with food trucks being on private property (they shouldn't even need a permit for this, just a displayed department of health cert), or at a permitted event. I'm not ok with them operating on city streets or public parking lots. This guy isn't against competition,he's against unfair competition and over regulation. And he's definitely for the ways communities were vs. The way they're going...thats just a personal thing I get it,we have a minor disagreement. I'm more libertarian when it comes to business competition. If you're able to spend the $50-100k on a food truck,you get to earn it back in my book. Reasonable regulations,good,protectionism,bad. We agree for the most part...and that's quite an accomplishment in this day and age
